Service from a telephone company
This unit is compatible with a Caller ID service offered by your local telephone company. To use this
feature, you must subscribe to a Caller ID service.
Caller ID allows you to view the name or telephone number of the caller before you answer the call. The
calling party information (name has priority) will be displayed after the first ring.
By using Caller ID, you have the option of whether or not to answer the call depending on the caller.
The unit can also store the caller's information for voice/fax calls in memory, creating a caller list. You can
view who has called using the caller list. This can be very useful if you are frequently out of the office or too
busy to answer the telephone.
Important:
eWhen you subscribe to a Caller ID service, set the ring count settings to 2 or more rings:
--See page 59 for FAX ONLY mode ring count, and
--See page 65 for TEL/FAX mode ring count.

List of FCC requirements and information
If required by the telephone company, inform them
of the following.
eFCC Registration No.:
(found on the bottom of the unit)
• Ringer Equivalence No.:
(found on the bottom of the unit)
• The particular telephone line to which the
equipment is connected.
This unit must not be connected to a coin operated
line. If you are on a party line, check with your
local telephone company.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN):
This REN is useful in determining the quantity of
devices you may connect to your telephone line
and still have all of those devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most but not all
areas, the sum of the REN's of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the nL_mberof devices you may
connect to your line, as determined by the REN,
you should contact your local telephone company
to determine the maximum REN for your calling
area.
In the event that terminal equipment causes harm
to the telephone network, the telephone company
should notify the customer, if possible, that service
may be stopped. However, where prior notice is
impractical, the company may temporarily cease
service providing that they:
a) Promptly notify the customer.
b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the
problem with their equipment.
c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a
complaint to the Federal Communication
Commission pursuant to procedures set out in
FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part
68.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its
communications facilities, equipment operations, or
procedures where such action is reasonably
required in the operation of its business and is not
inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC
Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably
expected to render any customer terminal
equipment incompatible with telephone company
communications facilities, or require modification or

120

alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise
materially affect its use or performance, the
customer shall be given adequate notice in writing,
to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted service.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate this
device.
When programming emergency numbers and/or
making test calls to emergency numbers:
1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the
dispatcher the reason for the call before
hanging up.
2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours;
such as early morning or late evenings.
This telephone provides magnetic coupling to
hearing aids.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
--Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
--Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
--Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
--Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
